Smallest Girl in the world

Smallest Girl in the world due to Primordial Dwarfism

Kenadie Jourdin-Bromley weighed 2 lbs, 8 ounces when she was born in February 2003.

She was not expected to live more than a day, but she has survived. She continued to defy doctors expectations and at the age of 8 months, Kenadie was finally diagnosed with primordial dwarfism, a genetic condition that is believed to affect only about 100 people in the world.

She isn't expected to grow past about 30 inches or weigh more than 8 pounds. Her special needs expenses are substantial. If you wish, you can help through a Paypal donation.

1. I've seen her on a special on the TeeVee...she's so tiny...

I have wondered how she has been doing since that was filmed.

2. I've seen her on TV too. She is so cute. I hope she keeps up the fight

and doesn't have many health issues.

3. My mother's crib was a shoebox

My grandmother refused to hold her; did not expect her to survive and did not want to become emotionally attached. She suffered measels, rubella, and pertusis, but managed somehow to live.

Survive and thrive she did; she is still with us at the age of 76.
